I am at day 15 now, I made a hairstick bun variation today, I really have trouble keeping track of how many days I am in the challenge. my first day was Oct 14th but I don't think remembering the date will help me that much - I'll have to count days all over again in a week when I forget which exactly day it is......... how do you guys deal with counting?

I am going to try this challenge for 30 days and see how it goes from there.
Hoping to learn new things that I can do with my hair. I think this will be interesting since I am in between APL and BSL. I will search for new updos that I can master with this length.

So Today DAY 1 ... split bun. Held with modified chopstick

@ Mariika: I add the day count to my post each day, that helps not getting lost.
I just thought that posting in this thread every day or every other day would be flooding...

Day 82 - Nautilus, but something fancy later on when I go out
I don't necessarily have my hair up at home - I cannot stand the feeling at the roots after a day in an updo, it's just unbearable, I HAVE to let my hair fall loose for couple hours... It's not cheating, right? I mean, updos are for protection and when I'm home I don't do anything harming and when I do I get my hair up.

My go to styles have been cinna clippy w/3 octi clips, English braids. I've more recently began switching it up between French and Dutch too. I wore a Flexi-8 today as a ponytail and English braided the tail.

Hmm I'd like to join this, but I get bored so quickly! Also, I am no good with pins and stuff like that, so my only resources are hair sticks, hair forks and ficcares (and the occasional elastic band).

Any of you got ideas to keep being inspired? I don't want to end up being that girl who always does her hair the exact same way (no offence to anyone, but I've always found that boring, hence the many dyes and haircuts I've had.)

Make a list of updos you can do and simply choose a different one each day. I think it's easier to vary updos this way, because I tend to forget a LOT of updos, when I'm tired in the morning. ;)
I try to do this for November, every day something different, and until now it worked great.
Good luck! :D
